jan POOR FARM ovnRsnnR.

One of the very perplexing matters
which the new board of County Commits.
toner's have had to contend was the Sc,
lection of an overseer for the poor farm
The multiplicity of candidates seeking
the position convinced everyone that q
good lot of men were willing to accept
the place even at the low price of 800,
and the Commissioners found little
peace Of mind or quiet body until their
choice was announced. The applicants
were all men of good standing and prac-
teal farmers, so that it made but little
difference who the commissioners deci-
ded upon. Mr.. Marston, SON of d. M.
Marston, Esq who was finally chosen,
is young man of splendid habits, in
dustrious, careful and painstaking, and
will without doubt make very accepta-
bic man for the county. He succeeds
one of the best overseers the county
ever had, for no one ever found where
Mr.. McGarry was direlict in any single
particular. Every grand jury for the
past five years have made reports high
ly complimentary to Mr.. McGarry's
management of the farm, and the clean
illness of the premises, and he can rest
assured that he retires from its manage
ment with the thanks of the people of
the county for his honest efforts and ex-
cellent services. We understand that
Mr.. McGarry's term of Office does not
expire until the first of March, and if so
it is not probable that his successor will
assume possession ofthe premises until
that date,

DEATH OF j. 4. KREMER.

The report Sunday evening in Man
kato that county treasurer, ]. p. Kremer,
was dead caused no little excitement.
Mr.. Kremer, it is well known had suf-
fered poor health for several years, and
for the past year or two his friends had
little hopes that he would ever regain
his former good health. The campaign
last fall was a great strain upon him, but
he seemed to come through with less
apparent fatigue than it was thought pos
sible he could. On Monday of last week
he came to Mankato and ON Tuesday as
sumed the duties of his new position.
He was very unwell when he arrived
here, and kept growing worse until in
the afternoon of Tuesday he was advised
to return home which he did. He i'm
mediately took his bed which he
never left alive. Saturday, deputy treas
urer Hoerr was called to the bedside of
the dying man by telegram, and WAS
with him at the time of his expiration
which occurred at o clock Sunday morn
ing.
A post norton examination was
held which revealed the fact that both
kidneys were badly diseased and the
refusal of these organs to perform their
proper functions was the canse of Mr..
Kremer's death.
Deceased was one of the most highly
respected citizens in the county, and his
sudden and altogether unexpected tax
ing off is a source of unaffected sorrow to
the people of Blue Earth county. He
was man of unblemished character,
and had he lived to complete the term
of Office just entered upon, he would
have proved himself entirely worthy the
responsible trust committed to his care.
Mr.. Kremer was born in France in
lS4l and was therefore As years of age
at the time of his death. He leaves a
wife and four small children. The fu-
neral took place in Danville on Tuesday,
and the attendance of mourning friends
and sympathizing neighoors and ac-
quaintances was very large.

THE INTER STATE CoMMERC
BILL.

Editor Free Press:
The Interstate Commerce bill, now pending
before congress, is exciting greater interest
among the people of this country than any bill
that has been before that body for many years.
The various mercantile associations are send
Ing memorials 10 congress through their rep
resentatives. asking either its passage, offer
ing amendments, or its defeat, in proportion
to the effect which 1t W III have upon the yari-
GUS localities.
The greatest legal minds are appealed TO. to
render opinions and place constructions upon
the various clauses, principal among which
are those RELAXING to the prohibition or pool
ing, the system OF rebates and particularly
that clause relating TO the long and short haul.
The policy of the railroads generally has been
TO re-arrange the geography of this country to
such an extent as to make Gel tain sections de-
pendent upon and tributary to certain lOcali-
tiles, although the same lines Of railroad
whose business emanates from common pur-
chasing center, traverse both sections, rs is
instanced I'm the case of the G. & N. w. Ry and
the @. M. & st. p. BY, both having lines start
Ing from Chicago and reaching both st. Paul
and Man katO. The tariff and agreed rate, Chi.
cago to st Paul, on first class goods IL 70 cents
per 100 pounds, while the rate Chicago to Man
kato Is 90 cents per 100 pounds, or IL cents per
100 pounds discrimination against Mankato, on
the hypothesis that the rates to both places are
maintained, but neither of these roads will dis

usually from rs to so per cent. less than the
published tariff rates, while the rate 10 Man

NEW WATER SUPPLY,

The new water supply is completed
and in operation. On Sunday the vari-
Gus hydrants throughout the city were
opened and the mains thoroughly
cleaned, when the pump to the new
reservoir was put on and a thorough
test made. When the pump was first
set to work there was about % feet of
water in the well, and after six hours
constant pumping, drawing out over q
half million gallons Of water in the
meantime, an examination was made
and it was found that the water had
been lowered about sixteen feet. After
reaching this point the water stood at
the same depth and could not be further
lowered. Gentlemen competent to
Judge are firm in the belief that the sup
ply of water is adequate to all demands
unless indeed it might be in case Of a
very serious confagration, in which
emergency the river water can be
brought into immediate use. The flow
ing wells in the vicinity of the reservoir
have become entirely dried up and use
less, as the large bore draws the supply
from the smaller ones. While this is
unfortunate, and to a certain extent will
work an expense to few individuals,
the public will be more than recon-
pensed if the new water supply shall
prove a success. Mankato has been
long in need of a pure quality of water
for domestic purposes. Few people
know the real impurity of the water
which they have been taking into their
stomachs through the supply Of river
water. 1t Is hardly good enough for
cattle to sip, and it is positively vile to
take into the human system.
The city is to be congratulated upon
the action of the council in its successful
efforts to afford wholesome water, and
the small expense incurred is a matter
of 10 consideration when compared with
the satisfaction of having something

A personal acquaintance with most OF our
